DULUTH. Nov. 23.-The case of Fred
F. Bickell, the Union National bank rob-
Der, came up for examination before
Judge Carey this afternoon. Cashier
Ware was examined and stated the dis
covery of the loss of six packages of
legal tender notes containing S24,5OO at
8 o'clock on the afternoon of the rob-
berry. Bickell's arrest in Chicago was
detailed and the finding of the money
in the original packages by w. A. Pin
kerton and j. J. II. Odell. president of
the bank, in Chicago. Bickell'S confess
sion was also given. W. B. WelleS. tel
Ter. and w. ID. Bishop, clerk, testified:
The defendant, Bickell, was clOSeted
with his attorneys and Sheriff IruelSen
during the greater part of the afternoon.
He was brought before Judge Carey
for few minutes and waived eXamlna-
ton. He will be tried at the next term
of the United States district court
at WinOna. and will leave for that place
in company with Sheriff TruelSOn Sat
urday. The case having gone into the
hands of the United States court, there
is no probability that the young man
will get off without punishment. The
penalty for grand larceny against a
bank organized under the national
banking act is imprisonment for not
less than five or more than ten years.
There is every likelihood that he will
spend five years at least inside the
walls of the United States prison at
Jackson. The case was brought by
District Attorney BeXter and United
States Marshal SweetZer.
A BUILDING ROW.
This afternoon the case of James
Ready VS.. Mrs. Sherwood for erecting
building contrary to the fire ordinance
was heard in the municipal court. The
case is a mixed one and full of knOtty
points The city council, not under
standing that the fire ordinance as
amended. did not allow them to give
permit to erect cOmbuStible buildings
inside the fire limits, gave Mrs.
Sherwood authority to do so. After
giving permission the council discOv-
cred the mistake. and when Ready
came for a like permission he was re-
fused. He naturally grew indignant
about the matter. and served an iujunc-
ton on Mrs. Sherwood to prevent her
from finishing the building. Having a
permit she refused to comply with the
Injunction. and considerable ill-feeling
has been aroused. Before the mistake
was discovered Mrs. Sherwood had al
ready expended about 81 800, and would
have been compelled 10 lose the whole
amount were she not permitted to go on.
The case has brought out many laugh
able features. Ready having sworn out
warrants daily against Mrs. Sherwood,
and her contractor has been in hiding
from the police for several days. The
case is still in progress.
